ABOUT THE TORONTO CHAPTER

Three professors, eight graduates and ten undergraduates founded the Toronto Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi in 1893. Originally founded as a literary society, we foster this tradition through regular literary events where Brothers, both Active and Alumni, present on a variety of topics. We offer an environment where Brothers can share teachings from diverse educational backgrounds and benefit from exposure to a wide range of perspectives.

We are also active in the community, raising money and hosting charity events for many organizations such as VETS Canada, Jack.org, and the St. Felix Centre.

Alpha Delta Phi Toronto understands that academics are our members’ first priority. On top of providing a comfortable place where Brothers can read, study, and have group discussions, we offer scholarships for students based on academic excellence. Our International body also encourages literary excellence through competitions where applicants can earn scholarships and cash prizes.

Our Fraternity is the perfect medium through which you can expand your network, meet similarly driven students, and create lifelong friendships. Holding positions of leadership in our organization gives Brothers the experience and confidence needed to grow that cannot be found in any other club or student organization. Seven of our Brothers were named to the 'Group of 175' - representing 175 of the university's most influential Graduates. Our Chapter has produced: 6 Companions of the Order of Canada; 4 Officers of the Order of Canada; 10 Members of the Order of Canada; 7 Rhodes Scholars, and our Brothers have gone on to prominence in education, industry, finance, politics, law and the arts.
